Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited disorder characterized by progressive development of colorectal adenomas. Unless treated, colorectal cancer inevitably occurs by the fourth or fifth decade of life. Red meat, not having colonoscopies, and having basal cell skin cancer do not predispose the patient to this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Whole-wheat toast is not a healthful choice for this patient. If people with celiac disease eat certain types of proteins (glutens, found in wheat, barley, rye, and oats), an autoimmune response causes damage to the small intestine, and nutrients are not absorbed. The remaining menu choices do not contain gluten and are healthy choices for this patient.
